The Other Paper – Columbus

You’re reading the "Music Section" of The Other Paper – - – - –

1. Love of imagery inspires ghostly film, album - Listening to Califone, you get the feeling singer Tim Rutili uses some kind of stream-of-consciousness method to write lyrics. Words and phrases are often strung together in a way that focuses on imagery—word pictures that create a mood more than a specific meaning.
2. LOCAL ROUNDUP: Le for the Uncool - Le: lots of influences but still his own man
3. MAJOR MINOR: The Professors, open-mike night - These Profs know their subject
4. Trifecta: three shows with buzz - Suckers
5. LOCAL ROUNDUP: Trains Across the Sea, Historians, Megan Palmer, Kopaz - Music-scene critic drops an EP
6. MAJOR MINOR: Gov't Mule, Chris Wood, Doctor Kenny Delicious - Experts in a now-rare musical trait: feeling
7. Rapper uses music to deal with mom’s murder - Phone rings.
8. TRIFECTA: three shows with buzz - Saviors, Locusta
9. Somehow, when they do it, it’s exciting - A few minutes before the Black Keys took the stage at the LC Pavilion on Friday night, an old blues-funk tune came on over the house speakers. In absent-minded anticipation, groups of seated fans across the lawn sprang to their feet and craned their necks to see Akron’s finest musical export.
10. Stop ignoring your local bands - This month, the band I am in will release its fourth album of original music written and recorded in Columbus, Ohio. If our own past releases and those of our Columbus musician friends are any indication of what the four of us should expect, the release will go a little something like this:
11. MAJOR MINOR: Seu Jorge, Fo/Mo/Deep, TV theme show - A hypnotic new take on Brazilian music
12. Trifecta: three shows with buzz - Gov‘t Mule
